Interestingly, the older style had a touchscreen that can be used with work gloves on, but the newer ones require the operator to either use a stylus or remove their glove.

    Even though nobody will see this, Apple trackpads use force sensors around the trackpad to sense the force of your finger and differentiate between a regular click and a “force click” and use the haptic motor to deliver the click feel without the need for a physical mechanism. It does not use the iPhone version of 3D Touch, which measures the distance between the upper glass and base.

    Fast forward to 2018/19 and Samsung implements it into the Galaxy line of phones to get the tactile feedback of an actual button press when you press the home button. It was pretty slick how they figured out how to use it on just that part of the screen instead of the entire screen being a button like Blackberry did.
